Résumé anglais Leonid HELLER, Viacheslav Ivanov s synthetism. From the 1880 's on, the evolution of modernism is punctuated with various synthetic schemes, such as a "great synthesis of science, art and religion", a synthesis of art and being, a "synthetic art", and finally "synthetic" devices in art. Viacheslav Ivanov occupies one of the foremost places among those who, in Russia, supplied these ideas with a real critical and philosophic consistency, and also among those who pioneered the road towards the "great synthesis". This article briefly examines Ivanov's « synthetism » as an element of his theoretical discourse, on the background of his time. It follows the progression of the notion of "synthesis" : science, mysticism and art, elements of the great synthesis, manifest themselves through particular tendencies and motives — energetism, esoterism, synthetism — and it stresses their influence on Ivanov's thought. It also endeavors to show the close connection of these motives in the cultural conscience of the Silver Age and of its successors, that is to say the point up to which they constitute themselves into the cultural paradigm of modernism.
